Wheel Cover: Service and Repair

REMOVE






1. Remove the three wheel nuts, used to lock the wheel cover to the wheel.

CAUTION: When removing the wheel cover, do not pry the wheel cover from the wheel. This can result in damage to the wheel cover. The wheel cover is removed by pulling it off the wheel by hand.






2. Grasp the wheel cover at the edges in line with the remaining installed wheel nuts and pull straight outward from the wheel. This will pop the wheel cover retaining tabs over the two remaining wheel nuts, removing the wheel cover from the wheel.

INSTALL






NOTE: The 2 wheel nuts must be installed on the studs shown to allow the installation of the wheel cover.






1. Align the valve notch in the wheel cover with the valve stem on the wheel. Align the two holes in the wheel cover having the retaining tabs, with the two installed and properly tightened wheel nuts.
2. Press in on center of wheel cover until retaining tabs on wheel cover engage with wheel nuts. This will hold the wheel cover to the wheel.
3. Install the three remaining wheel nuts.
4. Tighten all 5 wheel nuts to a torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
